An employee told police that a white man wearing a black beanie, black coat and blue jeans walked into the store just after 8 p.m. The employee said the suspect flashed a black handgun tucked into his waistband and said, "Give me the money and if you don't, this is what I'm gonna have to do."

The employee gave the suspect all the money in the drawer and then he fled in an older model black Chevrolet pickup truck.

Police arrested Brandon Dale Howard, 31 of North Little Rock, at a home in the Rose City area without incident. He is currently on parole in Pulaski County for aggravated robbery.

Dedrick said Howard confessed during his interview with police. He will now face charges of aggravated robbery and theft of property.
